I have been using VB 6.0 and new to VB.net (VB 2005) I want to know how to read characters from RS-232 port.
I have created serialport object and want to read this sort of thing "A,2451.3955,06715.8253"
I need to write and read data from a RS232 port. On the RS232 port there is a RFID Card reader-Writer connected. So I need to send hex codes to the device, and have to poll every 1sec if there is a card in the system. If there is a card I need to read the info that is on the card. My biggest problem is I think is that I am not sure how many characters there will be in return after the read command (maybe it is always the same length this I am not sure). What is the right way to read-write to the com port. So I always got the same result and not skipping a code.

So I want to use USB replacing RS232 port on laptop side but not change anything on the device side. Can I do this using a USB-RS232 converter? How to change the VB software?
View 1 RepliesI currently have software that sends out plain text(i.e. 'X') to comm 1 port and was wondering if there was any way to capture that plain text and also respond to that port on the same compute as the port without having anything plugged into the machine (i.e. 9 pin serial cable). I am trying to avoid buy any more hardware as this is an objective to acutally cut down on hardware.

View 3 RepliesI'm trying to read information from a device through COM Port.. Sometimes I receive information like:
[Code]...
how I can change that? or detect it so whenever the program receives that type of info it ignores it?
The vb.net code is functioning correctly as it talks to a device through COM1 serial port.What I was hoping was the equivalent c# code is not creating the same string and as a result, the serial 'packet' is not correct. Check this illustration of my problem [URL]...
My goal is to eliminate the addition of the extra characters '/0' and '/b' that what I hoped was the c# equivalent to the correctly functioning vb.net code. It just occurred to me I should change the code to employ Stringbuilder. The 'packetbuilder' method/function builds a string and keeps concatenating things to itself.

how can i, for example add a datum from the rs232 with other variable here is my code:
Dim ii As Byte
Dim c(100) As Char
c = Me.SerialPort1.ReadExisting()
[Code]....
My program connects via the rs232 port to a pump and it managed to start the communication and sending data. But the problem arises when i try to read the return signal from the pump to pc. This is the piece of code i've used:
Code: Dim returnbyte(0) As Byte Dim ByteIndex As Integer = 0
Do While ClassSerialPort.BytesToRead <> 0 ReDim Preserve returnbyte(ByteIndex) returnbyte(ByteIndex) = ClassSerialPort.ReadByte() ByteIndex = ByteIndex + 1 Loop
[code]....
I obtain the following results:
Code:... 6 12 0 0 0 92 ...
From the manual i understand which byte to read. For e.g 6 = ACK. The problem is how to interpret the 4 bytes together in a string for e.g 0 0 0 92 means 9.2ml ?Is there any way to read the decimal point?
I am trying to read a packet of data which has come in from RS232. I need to be monitoring the port until data comes in to be actioned. I have been doing this fine for some time using the following code:
Dim strline As String = Nothing
Dim comPort As SerialPort
Dim bIsOpen As Boolean = False
[Code]....
The code above works without a problem unles byte 1 or two are greater than 127. Basically, all of the characters that are not converted seem to be 128-255.
I am using VB 2008 express. Clearly I need to read each byte individually and store it as a byte within an array instead of a string but i am not sure how to do this.
how to get around this either through reading bytes properly or through using a different encoding format
ome simple program that can send simple .txt file over RS232 to another PC, read this .txt file and export to excel.

View 1 RepliesI have a device that is continuously sending text over a TCP port and I want to write a VB.net application that will read and evaluate this data. Being new to programming I am having trouble working out how to establish a connection to this TCP port and read the text using VB code. I am able to view this stream of data using telnet.
Most of the example code I have seen during my research seems to deal with two way communication but I think what I need is just one way (I don't need to send any commands to the device - just read what it is sending). I'm hoping some kind person can provide example code to get me started or point me in the right direction?
Ive got a big problem.I need to read data from the serial portIve used serialport from the toolbox , but dont know how to use it.I used to do it on a Amiga like this

View 5 RepliesWhen using the SerialPort component in VB.Net, and when the event DataReceived occurs, and if we assume that the com port read 13 digits (Bar Code), how to read the whole data received (i.e. 13 digits) while in event without letting the event repeats 13 times and write the 13 digits AFTER COLLECT THEM in a text box (I don' want to write one-by-one digit in the textbox, all at once)
briefly: I want to read the whole data from COM port at once and write the whole data (not digit-by-digit or byte-by-byte)to a textbox.
I know it is SERIAL port but I want to write the 13 digits PARALLEL to a textbox!
I have a device which send me data over a particular port. The data is in XML Format.
Now I already did a small console application which listen for the data and print out the data on the screen.
Now my plans are to deserialize the xml data or I will create the insert statement into the database.
1) The device send me the data every second (if there is data to send me).
2) I cannot say how much data the device is going to send me.
How can I make sure to capture all data without loose any information..
